Vincent Kompany’s pre-match comments

“They’re a top team, but it doesn’t change from when we played Spurs, when we played Liverpool, when we played Man City not long ago. You need a few things to go your way, you need exceptional performances and at the end these teams have always got tools to hurt you, but you need to make the most of your moments.

“We certainly had enough moments across all of those games, but we didn’t make the most of them.

“It’s about practice and belief. You have to believe when you get into this situation next time it’s in the back of the net.

“We have to take it game by game. We’ve been too close in those games so far to think we can’t do something, to think we can’t create a moment for us.

“You can’t wait for momentum. The key thing is to build the momentum throughout a period of games and you can’t wait for it to happen, you have to go and get it.”
